in short,the desighn scaleing works.im not sure as i dont have any kind of meter if its as flat through the range as the origional desighn,but it sounds dry as a bone and a huge improvement sonically over the 15,unfortunately the power handling is not sufficient,the 6.5 were rated at 150wrms but i doubt it,when driven even moderately hard i could hear the drivers giving up?(phut,phut) they are going back and im going to build a scaled for 8 inchers.

the sound is really good as a ht sub(actually when i play a cd thru the dvd player it sound good 2),but there have been a few times ive bottomed the subs out just watching a movie?(it just doesnt like those super low notes)i got 4 days off and a stack of movies to watch i will make my final decision by monday,i put 6 hours into building the box,even tho its a bit off spec, id be hard pushed to just dump it,i will either keep it with the peerless or buy some new higher power 6.5s for it? the peerless are definately a cheap speaker,the spider was bent dureing shipping? i mean a speaker should be a bit tougher than that! the spider is a thin metal stamped kind easily distorted with minimum effort.so ive seen 300 and 600 watt dare i say it pyramid speakers on e bay 6.5 and $20 a pair?you ever see tried heard any?i spose for #20 i should just try em eh!
